As developers, we always have to battle people and media overselling what we do. Just because we use things other people don't understand doesn't mean we use magic. Yet if you look at any "near future" video of cool technology everything is incredibly smooth. We, on the other hand, seem to be far too excited about things breaking and trying to find solutions for any problem - no matter how unlikely it is to happen. In this keynote Chris Heilmann wants to remind us about what we have, what we can do and just how amazing our work really is. And what we can do to keep it like that.

56. THINGS TO DO FOR YOU

57. LET’S AIM TO BUILD SOLID
FOUNDATIONS OF SMALL BITS
OF WORKING CODE.

58. TODAY’S TECH ISN’T GOING AWAY…
Hating JavaScript is like hating the Internet.
The Internet is a cobweb of different
technologies cobbled together with duct
tape, string and chewing gum. It's not
elegantly designed in any way, because it's
more of a growing organism than it is a
machine constructed with intent.
“
Mattias Petter Johansson, Spotify

59. IT IS BUILT TO LAST!
If you build a web app today, it will run in
browsers 10 years from now. Good luck
trying the same with your favorite mobile OS
(excluding Firefox OS). “
Paul Bakaus, Google (ex. Zynga)
http://paulbakaus.com/2014/08/26/the-web-is-built-to-last/

60. IT IS BEAUTIFUL!
If you enable people world-wide to
get a good experience and solve a
problem they have, I like it. The
technology you use is not the
important part. How much you lock
them in is. Don’t lock people in.
“
Christian Heilmann

61. DON’T TRY TO EXPLAIN, SHOW AND FIX TOGETHER

62. TALK LIVE!

63. DON’T FORGET:
THE HUMANS AROUND
YOU ARE THE DRIVING
FORCE. TREAT THEM
NICE AND WITH
RESPECT.
